General Statutes Prohibit Hazing
In a recent memorandum from
William Friday, president of the
University of North Carolina
system, the 16 constituent
universities were urged to
publicize the General Statutes of
North Caroina pertaining to
"hazing" or harassment of
pledges to wreek and Social
organizations.
Dr. Jesse Marshall,
vice-chancellor for student
affairs, said this action stemmed
from an incident in another state
in which a pledgee to a national
organization died as a result of
hazing.
"The hazing of pledgees to
Greek and social organizations
has a long history," said Dr.
Marshall. "In lecent years
national offices have issued
instructions that hazing must
cease but such instructions have
not been accepted literally.
Annoying,abusive and ridiculous
tricks continue to be perpetrated
on pledgees to frighten, scold and
to impose personal indignities."
Dr. Marshall said that the
pledging process at A&T
continues to be conducted as it
is conducted on other campuses
throughout the U.S.
''We, however, have
maintained a vigilant stance to
the extent that no permanent
injury or death that we know of,
resulted from cases of hazing
that have been reported and
handled by the university," Dr.
Marshall said.
Continuing, Dr, Marshall said
that since 1964, no less than ten
cases of hazing have been
reported at A&T. Organizations
have been suspended and
prevented from operating on the
campus for periods of one to five
years, he said, and no cases have
resulted in lawsuits.
Article Nine of the General
Statutes of North Carolina
pertains to hazing and reads as
follows:
Hazing,; definition and
punishment-It shall be unlawful
for any student in any college or
school in this state to engage in
what is known as hazing or to aid

At the third student body
meeting Wednesday night, the
SGA budget and the student
activity fee turned out to be the
main issues.
Larry Pierce, SGA treasurer,
reported to the audience of
about 50 people that the total
amount expended for the entire
homecoming week was
$20,028.64. He reported the
total amount of receipts from
the show and dance came to
$6,398.73.
Pierce said the SGA budget for
the year was $50,600 and that a
total of $222,700 had been
dispersed for the student
organizations. Pierce explained
the activity fee paid by the
students made up the student
activity budget. The fee, $52, is
multiplied by the number
of students registered and the
amount obtained.
Although over $300,000 was
projected to be obtained from
student fees, only a little over
$200,000 was dispersed for use
by student organizations, Pierce
said. Many students in the
audience wanted to know what
had happened to the remainder
of the money.
Pierce said that the money
was put in a reserve fund and
that Matthew King,
vice-chancellor for fiscal affairs,
would know exactly where the
5 money was.
Pierce said King had been
informed of the student body
meeting and had been invited,
but he was not present. Dr. Jesse
Marshall, vice-chancellor for
student affairs, was present at
the meeting. He told the students
that the location of the balance
would have to be identified by
King. He said King had only
recently obtained his position
and that he was still trying to
"scramble through."
Pierce went on to explain that
the amount of money the SGA
asked for initially was turned
down byKing. Pierce said King's
reason for not giving them what
they asked for was not justified.
"It was really sort of like he was
working against the students,"
Pierce said.
Billy Pettiford, vice-president
of the SGA, reported on the
dining hall situation. He said
Lawrence Munson, former food
service director, left a $211,
755.73 deficit when he left his
position. Because of this, the
vice-chancellor for fiscal affairs
feels it is important not to incur
any more debt so he has
tightened up on the money,
Pettiford said.
Pettiford said that, last year,
the food service division had a
budget of $1,198,958.58. This
budget was used to cover the
expenses of Brown Hall, the Blue
Mezzanine and the Red Carpet
Room. He said over $800,000
had been spent on food and over
$500,000 had been spent on
labor, utilities and repair
services.
Pettiford went on .to say that
Mrs. Laura Thornton, acting
food service director, wants to.
initiate new programs but that
the dining hall does not employ
enough help to run it properly.
The SGA officers appealed to
the audience to try to motivate
more students to get
involved in government.
Duke University Begins
Study Of Civil Rights
DURHAM (AP)-A long-term
study has begun at Duke
University to learn how the civil
rights movement began,
functioned and sustained itself in
the: racially troubled South during
the 1950's and'60's
The project is called the
Research Program for the Study
of Race Relations and Civil
Rights. It is being coordinated
By Drs. William Chafe and Larry
Goodwyn, co-directors of the
Duke Oral History Project.
The study will involve lawyers,
judges and journalists as well as
professional historians.
The National Endowment for
the Humanitites has awarded
Duke $299,780 to help support
the study, which is expected to
require several years, according
to Chafe.
Chafe said, in an interview,the
project is "the first systematic
effort to marshall the academic
community for a thorough study
of race relations and civil rights."
He said lawyers, judges,
journalists and others will be
involved in the study because
they affected the movement and,
